Artist Statement
So, artistically speaking, lately I've been feeling like I'm stuck in quicksand....
Wanting to break free from my usual painting style, I tried to work on some new ideas that had been swirling around in my head. But, each attempt at interpreting those ideas in a fresh way left me feeling paralyzed...each idea looked strikingly like my usual work. Feeling vulnerable, distressed and frustrated, I asked my twitter friends for help, suggestions, ideas....I needed to break free but felt I didn't know how.
"Blind Line drawings"....Mark (@Art_News) said.
"Morning pages" ...Andrew (@Winsorandnewt) said.
"Just begin" ...Tim (@elephantbird) said.
"Patience" ... Luis (@luisdoamaral) said.
"It will come in time, Shell" ....so many of you said.
So, after reflecting and writing, the feeling of being stuck began to materialize in a visual way. I tried to capture that feeling. And so these are the beginnings....
